Ralf Schumacher Running Out of F1 Options, Fires Manager
Nearly all the seats in the upcoming 2008 Formula One season have been spoken for, and as of yet, not one is occupied by former Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher.
Ralf, who has already been advised by his seven-time World Champion brother to sit out the season, tested recently for the Force India team. Unfortunately the younger Schumacher performed badly enough that even an F1 back-marker like the former Spyker team couldn’t find use for his services.
Now that most of the 2008 rides are taken, Ralf has seemingly gotten a bit more desperate, and fired his manager Hans Mahr. For his part, Mahr is said to be shifting his efforts from F1 management to a new media enterprise. Nice timing.

Ummmmmm Ralf - your manager wasn't the problem....... he really needs to take a look in the mirror on this one. For crying out loud he couldn't even drive the Force India car to a decent lap time. Hang it up Ralf, live out your life in extreme luxury with the tens of millions Toyota gave you.
